Is Your Fadal Rotary Table Acting Up? A Deep Dive into the Glentek DC Axis Motor (GM4020 / MTR-0003)

In the CNC machining industry, precision is extremely important. When your Fadal rotary table or indexing head begins to lose precision, stutter, or outright fail, the system can essentially lock up and halt your production capacity. Most of the time, it's a specialized component that's at the heart of the system: the axis motor.

Today, we’re focusing on a critical workhorse for many Fadal users—the Glentek DC Axis Motor, Rotary, GM4020, also universally known by its Fadal part number MTR-0003.

What is the Glentek GM4020 (MTR-0003) Motor?

The Fadal MTR-0003, formerly the Glentek GM4020FS and presently, just Glentek GM4020, is a unique DC motor built specifically for Fadal's rotary and indexing products. This is not a standard stock item; it has been designed to accomplish a specific task.

This motor is the direct replacement for:

Fadal TR65 (A-axis) Rotary Tables
Fadal VH65 and VH5C Rotary Heads

Its compatibility extends across a wide range of Fadal models, making it a vital part to know. It works with all Fadal DC Rotary models (VH5C, VH65, TR65) and Index DC Rotary models (VH6, VH8, VH9, VH11, TR80).
If you're experiencing issues with any of these units, the MTR-0003 is likely the part you’ll be looking for.
